February MCAL

February
MCAL

This Mystery Crochet Along pattern has been rated advanced beginner and is free to take part in. Ensure you are happy with all the stitches and equipment to avoid disappointment.

To join in chat and info about the test with others join this group. There is a general thread for this MCAL and a spoiler thread where you can share you pictures as you make each clue and guess what you think you are making.

Get picking your yarn! It looks good in any colour. Mix and match as you like. Use green and red to clash or a light and dark version of the same colour.

You
will need:

Yarn needle

Soft toy filling

8mm safety eyes

Pipe cleaner

3mm crochet hook (This
pattern can be made with any size yarn and hook. I recommend using a hook
1 size smaller than suggested on the yarn)

Dc2tog – work up a dc
stopping at the last YO that would normally complete the stitch (this is
an incomplete dc). This will leave 2 loops on your hook. Keeping that on
your hook, work another incomplete dc into the next st. There will now be
3 loops on the hook. YO and pull through all 3 loops.

Dc3tog – work up a dc
stopping at the last YO that would normally complete the stitch (this is
an incomplete dc). This will leave 2 loops on your hook. Keeping that on
your hook, work an incomplete dc into the next 2st. There will now be 4
loops on the hook. YO and pull through all 4 loops.

ST - Stitch

SLST - Slip stitch

R – Round or Row

FO - Finish Off

Other things to note....

This is worked in continuous
rounds. It is helpful to use a stitch marker to keep track.

The number in ( ) at the end
of each round indicates the total stitch count for that round.

* * indicates repeated
series of stitches.

Use invisible decreases for
a neater finished product. This is done by using the FLO of the stitches
while making the decrease.

Changing colour - complete the stitch before the colour change by working the last yarn over of the stitch with the new colour.
